Vuk Djordjevic wins with the London System using a kingside
attack. In the olden days, this opening helped White get an easy game with
minimal danger. Most of the focus tends to be on the center and queenside, but
aggressive-minded players like to work up a kingside assault. A typical such attack
came in this blitz game between International Master Vuk Djordjevic of Serbia and
Grandmaster Steven Zierk from the USA.
